Koei's 664923/imgs_1.html" class='autolink'>Dynasty Warriors is a series that has complete command over the globe -- the historical brawling series is an international hit that has run for five PS2 editions, several expansion packs, an Xbox version, a Samurai spin-off, and now a PSP and DS edition to conquer the world on the go. Koei released the newest edition, made for the new PlayStation Portable, in Japan this past week, and the European arm of Koei today issued a press release stating that the game will be released there in time for the PSP's launch in early 2005.

As part of the press release, Koei released details about the game that many may have missed since announcements about the game have thus far only applied to the Japanese edition. For those who haven't been keeping up, the PSP edition features:

New Battlefield Area System creates new strategic gameplay and allows for shorter periods of play, ideal for the mobile environment

New "Second in Command" Officer system gives bodyguards special skills that you control

Hundreds of "Second in Command" officers to discover and recruit - exchange "Second in Command" officers using the Memory Stick Duo with other players

Play as 42 Dynasty Warriors from all of the Three Kingdoms and Unaligned forces

Includes Musou mode (five stages of quick battle) and Free mode

Uncover seven stories from China's turbulent past

Mount stampeding elephants and swift horses, then ride into battle

Koei will likely announce its North American plans for this PSP game soon after the New Year, so check back after the break for news on its release at a store near you. We have new images of the game to get you through the downtime and prepare you for the upcoming war...
